Without people to read, write, chat, vote and code; E2 wouldn't be what it is today which is why I am collecting names for a list of people who have been the most influential during the past twelve months. If you would like to participate, please message me with your list of names. I would prefer full user names instead of nicknames and if the user has had a name change you are aware of, please include that as well. It would help me if you could compile your list before sending it, think about who has made a substantial and lasting contribution to Everything2 during 2011 even if this person no longer logs in on a regular basis.

Putting yourself on the list is acceptable as is including people who are no longer active members as some people have moved on yet were still powerful members of this site during 2011. A simple list of ten names would work for the quest however if you would like to expound upon your choices I would appreciate that as many behind the scenes people are doing work that may not be visible yet helps keep the site up and running. Thanks to all who have contributed so far and for allowing me to gather this data. I'm looking forward to reporting my findings after voting closes when the server refreshes on Saturday, January 7, 2012.
